FLare Network
The world's first Turing complete FBA network
Scalable and doesn’t base safety on a native token.
No risk of safety degradation from competing uses of native token.
Integrates Ethereum Virtual Machine.
Deep pool of developer talent and easier integration of existing projects.
Low transaction costs.
Applications can scale without users incurring burdensome costs.
The Flare Network is a distributed network whereby nodes run the Avalanche consensus protocol [Roc18] with a key
adaptation to a Federated Byzantine Agreement (FBA) consensus topology [CC19]. The Flare Network leverages the
Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), enabling the network to run Turing complete smart contracts. The combined usage
of the FBA consensus topology with a Turing complete smart contract layer makes Flare a scalable public smart contract
network that does not require a native token for safety.

Spark token
Flares native token on the Flare Network. Token lable = FLR
Collateral for the trustless issuance of assets from non-Turing complete chains.
Starting primarily with XRP and including LTC
Contributes to the Flare time series oracle & network governance.
Spark ownership secures, improves and guides the network.
Created by a utility fork of XRP.
Directly increasing utility of XRP and XRPL. No ICO. No competing interests.
Spark
Flare’s native token, the Spark, is required for spam control at the network level. Because the safety of the network is
not contingent on the token itself, Spark can be used in ways which would be unsafe for other networks
First, Spark
can be used as collateral within applications.
Second, Spark as a contributor, but not the sole contributor, to an oracle
providing on-chain time series data estimates, called the Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO)
Third, Spark as a governance
methodology across all elements that rely on it. These three components form the building blocks of a collection of
applications that can be built using Spark, termed Spark Dependent Applications (SDA’s). Furthermore, as the network
doesn’t require staking or computation returns for safety, the FTSO becomes the inflation function for Spark itself.
SDA
The Spark Dependant Application model
provides a blueprint for building applications on the Flare Network. This relies on the three components mentioned above:
Spark used as collateral
Spark used to contribute to the Flare Time Series Oracle providing on-chain
data estimates
Spark used as a participation token in governance schemes

FTSO
The Flare Network whitepaper introduced the Spark token (FLR) and the Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) as the decentralised on-chain mechanism providing time series estimates to the network
Crucially, it transfers value from people who do not participate in the system or who participate in a malicious fashion, to people who provide utility to the network.
Contributes to the Flare time series oracle & network governance.
Spark ownership secures, improves and guides the network.
DELEGATION CORRESPONDS TO AN ADDRESS ON FLARE ASSIGNING ITS OWN SPARK (FLR) TOKEN VOTES (OR F-ASSET VOTES) AND ANY VOTES ALREADY ASSIGNED TO IT, TO ANOTHER ADDRESS ON FLARE.
Overview
The FTSO provides externally sourced data estimates to the Flare Network in a decentralised manner. It does so by leveraging the distributed nature of the network and its participants. For example, the FXRP system requires the FLR/XRP price. A centralised system would for instance take this price from an exchange, updating the price at regular time intervals. But, a decentralised system relying on a centralised data feed would essentially render it centralised itself. The FTSO provides a decentralised solution to this problem.
Why Vote?
Because if the provided estimate is close enough to the oracle output, then a reward is earned. This allows participants to actively gain FLR, and incentivises them to not only provide data estimates, but to provide good estimates!
delegation services/signal providers
Many who hold Spark may not be able to directly participate in the FTSO by providing data. The system allows for the delegation of your spark votes to Signal Providers/Delegation Services, in return for a share in the profits. Delegation involves no risk to your Spark tokens. See the Website list to find some examples of Delegation Services (useful further reading on their sites)
